Hi Jérôme, thanks for responding!
I am currently using Office v16.22 (190211) Office 365 Subscription.
However this issue with the missing "predefined location" predates that; I
reported the same issue back in May 2018
( https://groups.google.com/d/msg/foxtrot-search/NDagwEBKNI4/h yVFkGlTAgAJ)
and at that time I was using Outlook for Mac 2016 (v16.11). This is a
corporate installation, so was pushed out by our IT folks instead of
downloading from App Store.
Output of mdimport -L shows (excerpt):
/Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/Microsoft
Outlook Spotlight Importer.mdimporter
Based on your suggestion, the "{home folder}/Library/Group
Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook" dir does indeed exist, and I have
manually added it as a custom search location; also unchecked "Library"
and rebuilt the index (screen shot attached). This now seems to be working
properly in terms of indexing (and has thankfully removed all of those
unwanted results from "Library"). Still a bit of a mystery why Outlook does
not show up as a predefined location, but at this point it's a cosmetic
issue, as the functionality is now what it should be. (One tip for others
who might need it: That Outlook folder is a bit tricky to navigate to in
the "add custom folder" dialog; I had to search for "UBF8T346G9" within the
dialog to show the needed path in the finder.)
Thanks for your help; I'm going to call this good for now. Love Foxtrot;
can't live without it :)
